In a new book out Monday, that journalist -- Wall Street Journal investigative reporter John Carreyrou -- sheds light on what went on behind the scenes of the disgraced company.

The book, "Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup," focuses on understanding the culture at Theranos and the tyrannic leadership that steered the startup to its one-time valuation of $9 billion.

Theranos aimed to create cheaper, more efficient alternatives to traditional blood tests using its proprietary technology. But after Carreyrou, a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, called into question its technology and testing methods in 2015, the company voided two years of blood tests. In May 2018, the SEC charged Theranos with "massive fraud" involving more than $700 million.

"There's no question in mind that she knew there was a risk that she was putting patients in harm's way," Careyrou said.

The bottom line is, use your goddamn heads, people! For anything truly revolutionary, the details will leak and the more revolutionary the faster it leaks. People can't help talking, particularly about something really interesting and other people can't help stealing or simply copying something valuable someone else has. That's simple human nature. The reason this "technology" was such a black box was there just wasn't any there there. Plus, the cons failed in the old axiom that extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence. They presented zero evidence other than feel good statements and word salad.
